Well, it's my fault to write Uncle Wings as Chrysanthemum Pass.

Is it true that everyone has a mountain in their hearts? I obviously wanted to write 'Chizhong', but when I typed it, it became 'Yueguan'...... The charm of Chrysanthemum Pass is really endless!

―――――――――――――――――― "The county order, found a sword behind the couch. ”

Meng Tan hurriedly walked over, took the long sword from the hand of an errand officer, glanced at it, and looked at Cao Peng with an extremely complicated gaze.

"County order, this should be the sword that killed Chizhong."

Chen Qun didn't care about appeasing the angry Xuan Shuo, and hurriedly stepped forward.

The long sword in Meng Tan's hand was about three and a half feet long, about eighty centimeters. The blade is streamlined and sharp. Two fingers wide and one side is serrated for increased cutting power. This sword is basically consistent with Cao Peng's description of the sword that killed Chi Zhong.

Chen Qun said to Xuan Shuo: "I never thought that Mo Yan is still a swordsman!"

No wonder we can't find anyone, it turns out that he did it. Monk Xuanshuo, I'm sorry, I'm afraid even you won't be able to get out of this matter. Before the truth is clarified, please be wronged. If someone comes, send Xuanshuo Jushi to the county office, and detain him first, and he must not be rude. ”

Hyun Shuo was dumbfounded and couldn't speak for a long time.

Cao Peng was on the side, and he didn't have any explanation, just squatted next to the corpse and observed carefully.

Yuan Xuanshuo walked out of the meditation room as if he had lost his soul, escorted by two messengers.

Chen Qun walked over and patted Cao Peng on the shoulder, "Let's go...... When I returned, I immediately sent out a sea fishing document to arrest the bhikshu. ”

Cao Peng raised his head and said softly, "Mo Yan is not the murderer who killed Chizhong. ”

"Oh?"

Meng Tan couldn't help but say, "Cao Beibei, the shape of the murder weapon that killed Chi Zhong is what you said. Now that the murder weapon has been found here, it's not Mo Yan, is it Yue Guan? I remember that when Chi Zhong was killed, Yue Guan had been here all along, and he had not left. ”

"It's not Yue Guan."

Cao Peng pointed to the corpse and said to Meng Tan: "As for why I said that he is not, Meng Nannan will know after seeing it." ”

Meng Tan snorted coldly and walked over to the corpse.

"Look at his left arm......"

"Looks like an injury?"

"His left arm is broken, how can he kill Chizhong?" Cao Peng coughed, as if he couldn't stand the smell in the house, and turned around and walked to the door, "The night before, when this person came to assassinate Chen Xianling, he was injured by me with an iron meteor. The left arm was hit hard and could not make the sword at all. Moreover, although the skin of his hands was rough, it was by no means the result of sword training. Generally speaking, the fingers of the swordsman are often calloused. If Meng Nannan doesn't believe it, you can find a few swordsmen to take a look...... Mo Yan's hands are clearly caused by long-term labor. ”

Meng Tan was silent!

After a while, he asked, "Then why did you find the murder weapon?" ”

"It's just grafting." Cao Peng smiled slightly, "I think someone wants to use this method to disturb our sight and cover the real murderer." ”

"Youxue, do you have a belly case?" Chen Qun asked suddenly.

"Zhang Liang!" Cao Peng closed his eyes, and after a while, he replied in a deep voice: "I was only skeptical before, but now it seems that I can't wait any longer." Two lives and three lives, plus our people, a full four lives...... The opponent is already in a hurry, and it seems that they are ready to evacuate, so they are impatient to erase all kinds of traces. But the more this happens, the more it shows that we are close to the truth. ”

"What truth?"

Cao Peng didn't answer, and slowly walked down the porch.

In the courtyard, the cool breeze is blowing.

The sunlight shines through the shadows of the swaying trees, shining in the small courtyard, and the spots of light flicker and disappear.

Chen Qun said: "Meng Nannan, immediately mobilize troops and horses to arrest Zhang Yuanan." ”

"Huh?"

Meng Tan hesitated a little and said softly: "County order, this Liang is a local Haoqiang disciple of Luoyang, and he is arrested without evidence, I am afraid that it will arouse the opposition of Luoyang Haoqiang...... Most of those people have some strength, and if there is a disturbance, it is likely to cause turmoil. ”

Chen Qun's eyes flashed, "Let's take it first." ”

Since he had spoken, he had obviously made up his mind.

Although Meng Tan hesitated a little, he still took the hand and led the people back to Luoyang.

At this time, Cao Peng had already walked out of the cross-hospital. He walked along the wall, looking at ease.

Chen Qun came to the archway, and Cao Peng just returned.

"Ah Fu, are you sure?"

"I don't dare to say if I can't grasp it, but if Zhang Yuanan is the real murderer, he must not be at home at the moment."

"Same as Zhudao?"

Cao Peng nodded, and shook his head again, "Zhu Dao's escape may be just a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with the murder." But if Zhang Yuanan is the real murderer, according to today's development, it is certain that the other party is also a little anxious, so he will kill people desperately...... So I estimate that Zhang Yuanan is also ready to evacuate, and he must be with his accomplices at this moment. ”

Chen Qun couldn't help but say, "Then what is the purpose of these people?"

Also, you just said that Mo Yan assassinated me? Since I came to Luoyang, I rarely showed my face, who was so bold to assassinate me? ”

"Since they can kill Fourth Brother Zhu, why can't they kill you?"

"You ......"

Cao Peng smiled, pulled Chen Qun, and walked up to the water pavilion.

"Big brother, do you still remember that after singing and dancing in this water pavilion that night, you had a word with Yue Guan."

"Is there one?"

Chen Qun was also smoked at that time, and he couldn't remember what he said.

Cao Peng said: "You praised Yue Guan at that time, saying that her singing and dancing had the charm of the Han Palace......"

The singing and dancing of the lord of Yue'an seems to have a palace atmosphere, which is very good!

In Chen Qun's mind, the scene of that night suddenly appeared. In an instant, every word he said that night seemed to echo in his ears.

"I did say that."

"That's why I assassinated you."

"Huh?"

Cao Peng held the water pavilion railing in his hand, and his expression seemed to return to that night.

"Cao Beibei, I know who killed Zhu Beibei, please try to stay in the nunnery tonight......"

Snow Lotus's soft voice echoed in my ears. After a while, Cao Peng turned his head to Chen Qun and said, "Brother, you can know that there are all kinds of strange people and strange things in this world. I've heard that someone can guess the content of a word by the movement of their lips, and this is called lip talk. ”

"I haven't heard of it."

"I believe that there will be people who know this art that night."

"Who?"

"Yue Guan."

Chen Qun shuddered, and suddenly felt a chill rise from his body. Subconsciously, he grabbed his collar and looked around the water pavilion, as if the scenes of that night appeared in his mind. When Xue Lian and Cao Peng whispered, Yue Guan's smart eyes stared at Xue Lian with the dance...... "What do you mean, Yue Guan discovered Xue Lian's secret language, so ......"

Chen Qun was not a fool, and quickly guessed the meaning of Cao Peng's words.

Cao Peng nodded, closed his eyes, and Yue Guan's eyes as soft as autumn water appeared, flashing a touch of anger.

"Why was Chi Zhong killed?" He said softly: "Big brother, do you remember the conflict that night? ”

"Remember!"

"Chi Zhong did mean to peep at Yue Guan to change clothes, but he didn't expect that he would peep into ...... It's not a living Spring Palace, but a murder.

Yue Guan found out that Xuelian intended to inform, so he moved to kill.

She used the excuse of changing clothes and asked Xue Lian to carry water by the well, and then suddenly came behind Xue Lian and smashed the back of Xue Lian's head with the copper kettle used to throw the pot that night...... Snow Lotus was caught off guard and fell into the well, which can be described as unaware and unaware.

If it weren't for Chi Zhong's discovery, no one would have discovered Xue Lian's disappearance at all.

According to Yue Guan's idea, the well, along with Yishui, after the snow lotus fell into the well, would rush into the Yishui River. When the time comes, even if someone finds the body, he can leave it alone. However, that night, two consecutive heavy rains caused the water to swell, so that Snow Lotus's body was not washed away and remained in the well. This is also a flaw that Yue Guan accidentally revealed......"

Chen Qun took a deep breath, "And then?" ”

Originally, Yue Guan didn't find out what she had done, and Chi Zhong saw it.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Zhu Dao also exposed Chi Zhong to Yue Guan's sight. Zhu Dao and Chi Zhong have always been at odds, and when they saw Chi Zhong appearing from the corner, they mocked Chi Zhong. And Chi Zhong was in turmoil at the moment. He didn't expect that the woman he liked was a woman who killed people without blinking. Coupled with Zhu Dao's verbal stimulation, Chi Zhong had a crazy attack and started a fight with Zhu Dao.

He's crazy......"

In retrospect, Chi Zhong was indeed crazy that night, so much so that Zhu Dao was beaten by him, and he retreated again and again, embarrassed.

Cao Peng continued: "And at this time, Yue Guan appeared.

At that time, we all thought that Yue Guan felt humiliated, so he kept his head down. As everyone knows, Yue Guan is because of fear! When she heard Zhu Dao say that Chi Zhong was spying on her, she immediately realized that the process of her killing Snow Lotus was clearly seen by Chi Zhong. She also knew that Chi Zhong liked her, but she was more worried that Chi Zhong would denounce her, so she rushed over and stopped Chi Zhong...... Do you still remember her words at the time: Boyu, do you want me to die?

At first glance, it sounds like a shame and indignation, but in fact, it is a plea for Chizhong...... Chi Zhong was an amorous seed, and in the face of Yue Guan's plea, he didn't say it on the spot, but left without looking back.

But his soft-heartedness doomed him to the end. He likes Yue Guan, but Yue Guan doesn't like him...... And at the banquet at that time, there were also Yue Guan's accomplices. He got Yue Guan's prompt, so after leaving the Chrysanthemum Nunnery and breaking up with everyone, he chased after him. Chi Zhong didn't expect that the friend who Ping said had a good relationship with him chased after him with murderous intent...... The two took shelter from the rain in the forest, and Chizhong confided the truth.

Unexpectedly, this good friend of his suddenly made a move. And Chi Zhong didn't expect that his friend's swordsmanship was so clever that he didn't have any defense, so he pierced his heart with a sword......

Cao Peng fell into a state of madness.

He imitated Chizhong's voice and said, "Is it Guan Guan who asked you to kill me?" ”

Then he imitated another person's voice and said, "Boyu, I'm sorry...... It's just that you're eventful and see things you shouldn't see. ”

Chen Qun couldn't help but feel creepy, and looked at Cao Peng in horror.

Cao Peng let out a sigh of relief, turned to Chen Qun and smiled: "So, this amorous species is relieved...... His death was not because Yue Guan didn't like him, but because he was troublesome! So, he collapsed peacefully in the mud without any struggle. I think he must have felt relieved......"

Chen Qun was silent!

In the water pavilion, there is a suffocating and dreary atmosphere.

After a while, he showed a difficult smile, "Then Mo Yan, why did you want to kill me?" ”

"I found a box in Snow Lotus's house.

The little girl seemed to be wary, so she left some clues. However, her move did not hide from Yue Guan's eyes.

After the banquet had dispersed, Yue Guan walked into her room, found the box from under the floating slaughter, and then took the clue that Snow Lotus had placed inside. In order to create the illusion that Snow Lotus had returned to the room, she burned an incense in the incense burner...... It's just that Yue Guan still underestimated Snow Lotus. That little girl is very elf! The clues she left in the wooden box were all fakes. Because she knew that she could be killed by Yue Guan at any time...... So, her real clue is the piece of fiery red silk in the box. ”

"Red satin?"

"Yes, it's a very clever method, Yue Guan would never have thought of it, Xuelian used this method to tell me the origin of Yue Guan......

Chen Qun rubbed his cheeks lightly, as if lost in thought.

After a while, he raised his head, "In the past, Gaozu slashed the snake and rebelled, and he was the son of Emperor Yanchi." Since then, our Han family has prospered with fire virtue...... The red satin represents the Han royal family. Yue Guan is a person from the palace! So when I said that her singing and dancing had the charm of the Han Palace, Yue Guan thought that I had seen through her origin. So, she immediately contacted Mo Yan...... I don't know how she contacted Mo Yan, but that night, Mo Yan was ordered to assassinate me. It's just that Mo Yan didn't expect that you would be in my room, so the archery was dodged by you.

And you thought that the arrow was coming at you...... But in fact, the person Mo Yan wants to kill is me? ”

"Big brother, what you said is extremely true!"

Cao Peng stroked his palms and smiled, "A simple wooden box, a valuable red silk...... Xue Lian used this method to tell the origin of Yue Guan. ”

"Then why did she kill Mo Yan again?"

Cao Peng raised his head, "I don't know!"

Maybe it was to set up a blame, maybe it was to kill people, and maybe even that it was Mr. Mo Yan who had murderous intentions, so Yue Guanse seduced him and made Mo Yan a merry ghost under the pomegranate skirt. This answer may only be known when you find Yue Guan. ”

"Yue Guan, where is it?"

Cao Peng shook his head again, "How do I know." ”

He slowly walked out of the water pavilion, "But if I am Yue Guan, I will definitely try to return to the palace." ”

"Then I will immediately report to Henan Yin and ask Cheng Gong to block the pass."

"In addition, in the past two days, it is very likely that there will be a caravan leaving Luoyang, and when the time comes, it will ask the county government to close the plate, and the eldest brother can let it go."

"What do you mean......"

"Actually, they're more nervous than we are."

Cao Peng smiled and didn't say anything further.

And Chen Qun had already understood his intentions, and a touch of coldness appeared on his face.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Meng Tan was outside Luoyang City and stopped Chen Qun's carriage and horses.

He looked ashamed, "County order, Zhang Yuanan ran away." ”

"Oh?"

"According to his family, Zhang Yuanan left his home last night and has not returned since, and no one knows exactly where he went."

Chen Qun turned his head and looked at Cao Peng in shock.

Cao Peng showed a 'sure enough' expression and smiled at Hehe.

"Let's go home!"

Chen Qun didn't say a word, and immediately led the people back to the county office.

After everyone dismounted at the county office, a retainer came to report: "Son, Mr. Su from Beishi said that he has been waiting for a long time at your invitation. ”

"Mr. Su from North City?"

Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, that Mr. Su should be the big Jia of the Su family in Hejian in Luoyang, Su Wei.

"Ah Fu, Xuan Shuo layman......"

"Let's hold it for now." Cao Peng smiled, "Let him out at this time, maybe there will be some trouble."

Let him stay in prison first, and find someone to protect him. When the matter is over, the eldest brother might as well try to correct his name, hasn't he been begging for the seal of the White Horse Temple? The right to do is compensation for him. By the way, if the eldest brother has a heart, he might as well send someone to Zhu Dao's house to search it, maybe there will be an unexpected gain. ”

Chen Qun was stunned, but Cao Peng refused to explain.

"This matter, I have a chance to talk about it."

"Then I'll go back to the Northern Governor's Mansion first, and there are a lot of things going on over there."

"So, I won't send it."

After Cao Peng and Chen Qun said goodbye, they returned to the Weifu with people.

Actually, what's the matter with him?

It's just that in his heart, there is still a mystery that has not been solved...... When he returned to the Captain's Mansion, he immediately found Kan Ze.

"Big brother, do you know anything about Dong Zhuo?"

Kan Ze frowned and said, "I don't know much, but I know a little bit about it." ”

"I have something that I want to bother my brother about." Cao Peng said, whispering in Kan Ze's ear for a while, Kan Ze was still a little confused at first. But gradually, his face became solemn. He kept his face calm and nodded again and again, indicating that he understood what Cao Peng meant.

"Don't worry, Childe, I will find out about this matter as soon as possible."

"So, there is Brother Lao."

Sitting in the flower hall, Cao Peng felt tired, so he half-snuggled on the couch and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

After coming to Luoyang, all kinds of accidents happened, but when I thought about it, it was a thousand turns. Many of the answers he and Chen Qun have said today rely on speculation, and to be honest, there is not much evidence. Fortunately, in this era, it is not entirely based on evidence.

He has already touched the truth of the matter, and if he wants to confirm it, all he has to do is wait!

Yes, patiently...... Familiar, unfamiliar faces flashed through my mind.

Unconsciously, Cao Peng fell asleep.

Half-asleep and half-awake, he felt someone pushing. So when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiahoulan and Bu Luan standing aside...... Turning over and sitting up, Cao Peng gently rubbed his eyes.

"What time is it?"

"Back to Gongzi, it's almost time!"

Cao Peng noticed that a silver candle had been lit in the flower hall.

God, it's already dark.

"I slept all afternoon?"

"Hmm...... The old lady and Miss Huang came to see her twice, but when she saw that her son was sleeping soundly, no one was allowed to disturb her son. ”

patting his forehead, Cao Peng sat up straight.

"What's the matter?"

Xiahou Lan stepped forward and said softly: "Childe, Miao Xu sent someone to send a letter when you are there, saying that it is a matter of great importance, please make a decision." ”

As he spoke, he handed Cao Peng a bamboo tube with fire paint pressed with fire paint.

Cao Peng frowned, twisted the seal of the bamboo tube, and poured out a roll of thumb-sized white silk from it.

"Come here."

Bu Luan hurriedly leaned over with a silver candle.

Cao Peng lit up the candlelight, unfolded the white silk, and looked carefully. His face flashed with surprise, and after a moment, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"I knew that Lao Shi was not a person who was afraid of things!"

He stood up, pulled his legs and walked away.

"Childe, it's almost dinner, where are you going?"

"Hehe, I have something important to discuss with Chen County, Xiaoluan told A-Niang and Yueying, just say that I will come back late tonight, and there is no need to wait for me."

(To be continued)
